One of the newer forms of outdoor adventure and activity that has been emerging throughout the United States with vigor is zip lining. These zip lining tours take individuals and groups throughout the treetops and canopies on harnesses, letting them zip through the trees on wires. These tours can require a significant amount of strength and should only be done by individuals in good health. Swimming is another outdoor activity that you can participate in during the summer months (outdoors) and winter months (indoors).

There is an interesting activity called “geocaching” that has also been steadily gaining popularity. This activity requires the use of a smart phone to locate “geocaches” in the area. Once located, you use the riddles or clues provided to find the exact location of the geocache. The activity is almost like a treasure hunt and once the geocache is located, there is no telling what it could be. Sometimes they are containers with an item in them that you take and leave something else behind, sometimes they are sayings, sometimes they are notes or paper that you sign and write your name and date, there is no way to know until you find it. It’s a fun activity for families and couples.

Rock climbing one of many exciting outdoor activities that can be done either inside or outside, depending on the location of the rock climbing wall. Rock climbing outside on real rocks should be done by professionals and only with experienced individuals. Using a rock climbing wall is a good way to introduce yourself to the sport of rock climbing safely and easily. Using the rock wall will also help you get accustomed to the equipment used during rock climbing, as well as the height aspect. Some people don’t realize they are scared of heights until they are in a high space.
